Networking connection between 2 computers

[John Miller <johndmiller@mn.mediaone.net>]

I am having terrible luck getting this to work. I am sure that there is one 
little thing that I am forgetting. I have installed Debian for the second 
time because the Windows system didn't work.

My windows box has the static address of 192.168.0.1 and it can ping it's 
self at that address.

My Debian box has the static address of 192.168.0.2 and it can ping it's 
self at that address.

The routing table says :
Destinatin Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0. 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0. UG 0 0 0 eth0

I tried to remove the second entry (0.0.0.0) but I couldn't. I typed
route del 0.0.0.0

and it returned SIOCDELRT: No such process.

Any idea.

I have an ISA networking card in my l Debian box. Could not tell you what 
the name brand is but it uses the tulip driver. The windows box uses a 
Realtek networking card. When I transfer files I can reach speeds of about 
300K. If I have multiple transfer going it will reach 2 Megabyte.

At this point I am just trying to get my Debian box to talk to my windows 
box and vis versa
